Check out the misleading headline:

Coleman and Franken Still Battle, As Minnesota Gripes

See, Coleman and Franken are each battling; both of them for dragging this recount vote out in the courts.

Last time we checked, the statewide, hand recount found that Franken had won. It was Coleman who demanded a lengthy court trial, it's Coleman who's appealing to the Minnesota Supreme Court, and it's Coleman whose allies are encouraging him to appeal to federal court if he loses in his home state, which could drag the case into 2010.

How is Franken battling with Coleman, other than showing up and defending himself at Coleman's endless legal appeals?

And of course, Time dutifully refuses to raise the specter of Coleman as a sore loser. Apparently, for the Beltway press, when the GOP plays electoral hardball, it's to be admired. But when Democrats attempt it (nice try, Al), it's to be condemned. Immediately.
